From inside of front cover:

‘Being a Brief Survey of the Effects of Capitalist Depression Upon the Working Class, with Particular Reference to Conditions in Queensland, and in Australia Generally; An Examination of the Break-down of the Capitalist Economy and of the Failure of the Capitalist Economists Either to Understand or to Remedy This Disastrous Condition of Affairs.

‘An Exposure of the Quack Remedies of the Economists, Orthodox and Unorthodox Alike, with Some Reference to the Leading Australian Apostles of Deflation (Not to mention Sir Otto Niemeyer and the Premiers’ Plan) and the Delusive Quality of the Prosperity which is Still “Around the Corner?”

‘A Consideration of the Ultimate Identity of All Proposals Under Capitalism for Either Deflation or Inflation — Since both aim at the Restoration of The Capitalist Rate of Profit, which can only be achieved by the progressive Degradation of the Conditions of the Workers, together with an Appreciative Exposure of the Conclusions of One Honest Capitalist Economist, who not only confirms Marx’s Analysis of Capitalist Tendencies, but gives a Convincing Reason Why, in the Choice between Barbarism and Communism, the Workers Must Take the Path of Marxian Socialism which Leads to Communism or Else Suffer a Dreadful Fate.

‘All of which is completed with a Brief Recognition of Marx’s True Place in the Development of the Science of Economics, a Summary of His Analysis of The Crisis and the Justification of His Views, As Seen in the Growth of Fascism as Capitalism Declines, and the Progressive Advance of the Russian Workers As They Follow the Marxian Road; Showing that the Path to Peace and Freedom is the Path of Working Class Struggle Against War and Against Fascism, in which Understanding Provides a Basis for Action, and Education and Organisation Are Seen to be of Vital Importance.’
